BLENDING TIPS
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Blending: Insert the Hand Blender with
blending arm attached at an angle into
the container with your ingredients. Use
your free hand to stabilise the container
and avoid splattering. Remember to stop
the Hand Blender before removing it
from the container to avoid splashing.
Drawing up: Rest the Hand Blender on
the bottom of the container momentarily,
then hold at an angle and slowly draw it
upwards against the side of the container.
As the Hand Blender is drawn up, you will
notice the ingredients from the bottom of
the container being drawn up. When the
ingredients are no longer being drawn up
from the bottom, return the Hand Blender
to the bottom of the container and repeat
the process until the ingredients are at the
desired consistency.
Wrist movement: Using a light circular
motion from your wrist, draw the Hand
Blender up slightly and let it fall again
into the ingredients. Allow your wrist
motion and the weight of the Hand
Blender to do the work.
